Former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa is making it clear where she stands regarding the rumors that she and her boyfriend, Chris Hughes, are in a \u201clavender relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n
While appearing on E! News\u2019 Hot Goss, Siwa spoke about the speculation. She and Hughes met during Season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK. They started dating over a year ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came out when I was 17,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a wonderful relationship with a girl. Coming out dating a man for me ended up getting more scrutiny than coming out dating a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dancer\/singer claimed that many people viewed her relationship with Hughes in a \u201cnegative way\u201d for the \u201cfun of it.\u201d She alleged many of her critics called the relationship \u201cso lavender.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no clue what it meant before,\u201d she said. \u201cI Googled it, and I was like, \u2018Oh, grow up!’\u201d<\/p>\n
She further pointed out, \u201cI hate when people think that love is controllable. Prior to Chris, I was never interested in men \u2013 still not interested in men as a whole. I\u2019m interested in a man \u2013 singular, not plural.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former reality TV star said that one of the reasons she and Hughes get along so well is that she considers herself \u201cone of the bros.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had dudes as my friends my whole life,\u201d she continued. \u201cI bond better. I don\u2019t want to get my nails done and talk iced coffee orders with girls.\u201d<\/p>\n
Siwa then noted that she doesn\u2019t do typical girl things, such as carrying purses and wearing women\u2019s pants.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris is such a wonderful partner,\u201d she declared. \u201cWe have the utmost trust for each other. We have the utmost respect for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Siwa previously spoke about how her relationship with Hughes has helped her redefine herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the most beautiful term now is q\u2014r,\u201d she said. \u201cI think q\u2014r is an umbrella of, \u2018Look, I\u2019m just me.\u2019 And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is that love is love. And that goes both ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on to add, \u201cThere\u2019s loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and q\u2014rness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don\u2019t even know exist yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
